Such facts as I have met with point to the conclusion that it is the system overcharged with the products of food which was not required, and can act only as a poison to every organ in the body, which is most susceptible to colds." * * * —Report comes to hand of the formation of still another big land syndicate in the North-West. This is composed of Minneapolis, Duluth and Western Canadian capitalists, with a capital of $3,500,000, who have bought 1,100,000 acres of far- ming lands in Assiniboia and Sas- katchewan from the Regina and Long Lake Railway. They are situate chiefly between Regina and Princr Albert, nearly 500 miles west of Winnipeg. The intention is to settle upon them families from the Northern and North-wes- tern States. The Best le always the (;hotpot. Coln Ar Campbell FAIRLY VIEWED. (Toronto Telegram.) A !Majority of four does not ena- ble a Government to permanently control a Parliament of ninety- eight members. After the Speaker is elected the majority would be reduced to three. The majority of six, on the face of the returns from the general elections of 1898, devel- oped into a Parliamentary majority of eleven, West Elgin and North Waterloo were stages in its devel- opment. The scandals which have disgraced Ontario in the last four years have pretty well exhausted the possibilities in the way of steal- ing constituencies. The result of the election does not leave Hon. G. W. Ross in good fighting position. The inefficiency of his associates in the Government was proved by the fact that the Liberal campaign was one man's fight. And Hon. G. W. Ross wit'a all the odds in his favor failed to overwhelm J. P. Whitney with all the odds against him. The refer- endum farce will be played to a cli- max before the bye -elections can take place. The voting must add to the number of embittered and disappointed temperance Liberals who made the party feel the weight of their displeasure. Hon. G. W. Ross had every reason to know that his Government is a load to carry. He was barely able to save it from defeat. He could not save it from discredit. The weakness of the Government as revealed at the polis is a sign of decay. Never in the history of the politics of On- tario was a Government as weak or an Opposition as strong as the parties led by Hon. G. W. Ross and J. P. Whitney are to -day. The country and the closely divided Legislature form the arena in which a weak and discredited Gov- ernment must now wrestle out its troubles with an Opposition which may have learned to be bold and which has reason to be hopeful.

Other occupations are represented as follows : Five manufacturers, three contratcors, three lumbermen, two millers, one cheesemaker, one undertaker, one financial agent, one land surveyor, one engineer, one agent, one auc- tioneer and one cattle dealer, also find places. * • —An adequate idea of the high value of a modern Atlantic liner may be gathered from the fact that the insurance value of the North German Lloyd steamship "Kaiser Wilhelm II., now in course of con- struction at the Vulcan ship -yard, Stottin, is $1,591,150. This repre- sents only the launching value of the bare hull. A further insurance sum of $3,549,480 is required to cover the ship for the first trial trip, while the company require a total sum underwritten on comple- tion of the vessel of $6,175,000. The risk of launching, river work and trials is to be covered by the policies. * x * —Great things are expected from the accelerated progress of the Ca- nadian North West, in the near fu- ture. An American, Mr. Kenas- ton, of St. Paul, predicts that not less than 200,000 American emi- grants will cross the line into that part of Canada during the present year. As a matter of fact, Ameri- cans are buying large quantities of land in the Canadian North West —there were 15,000 sales of land made to the Americans by the Hudson Bay Company in 1001— and this land will be occupied by the best class of settlers. Doubts have been thrown out whether seri- ous political consequences may re- sult from this immigration into our North West ; but it must be re- membered that the new comers will get mixed up with our own people, r,f whom they will become part.

JNO. & JAS. H. KERR. Three remarkable instances are known in which the Yankee boy's trick of whittling led to valuable inventions. According to a writer in the Stationary Engineer and Machinist, the elder Cunard, who was apprenticed as a lad to a Scotch shipbuilder, is said to have amused himself in whittling the hulls of vessels. Occasionally he would fit one of these with masts, sails and rigging complete. Tired of familiar types, he would experiment with new ships,, and one of these it was that attracted the attention of his master, because it would not main- tain its upright position in the wa- ter. Experiments were made to ballast it, in order to give it the proper trim. The clipper -like shape and graceful, long lines of the mo- del promised great speed. Such is said to be the origin of the standard model of the Cunard and later ocean greyhounds. Robert Livingston Stevens had grown to man's estate when he sailed from New York to Liverpool, eighty years ago. Bat he had not outgrown his love of whittling. In those days the passage took two months, and Stevens passed many an hour, jack-knife in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, brooding over a problem that had often worried him—how to run a railroad without stone stringers for tracks. He wanted to get an iron rail that would "hold," and would take the place of the thin strips fastened to the chair of the road- bed. Just before he reached Eng- land, his whittling revealed to him the solution of his problem, and that solution took the form of a T- rail with a broad base that could be applied direct to a solid wooden support. That IT -rail is still in use on all railways of the world.— [Scientific American. Independents Denounce the Gov- ernment. The following printed circular has been issued by the Indepen- dent electors of the Township of Stamford, in. Welland County : "The Independent Liberals of Stamford and vicinity withdraw their support from the present Ontario Government for several reasons, some of which are here given: "1. Because of its very peculiar prohibition legislation, which offers us an unjust and one-sided referen- dum. "2. Because gambling institu- tions and boxing arena not allowed in New York State are tolerated in this fair country of ours; "3. Because a distinct attempt to crush out all the independence of all individual electors by un- principled cliques, which, owing to the co-operation of our representa- tives, at Toronto and Ottawa have been enabled to do deeds which cannot be justified; "4. Because we are oppesecl to the use of the people's money in bonusing railway companies. We find that the Ontario Government paid over to the corporations over 63,000,000 within the last six years. That such corporations should feel grateful in a tangible way about election time, is not sur- prising ; ".Approved at the last regular meeting held at Southend, May 20, 1002.
